So I am in charge of 60+ computers, most of which are being used by users who don't have admin access. It's pretty common that I have to jump in for a second to install some software, but a lot of installers don't ask you to Authenticate yourself as an admin user, which means I have to log them out, or FUS into the admin account.
When I'm in the terminal, I can just throw a sudo in there to gain the access I need (sort of).
Anyway, I was wondering if there's anyway to run a process as another/super user in the GUI.
I'd love to be able to pop a disk in, run the installer as another user, and not have to deal with logging out, back in, installing, logging out, and back in. etc.
